What a fantastic evening at Say Hey! hosted by Partners in Diversity at the Multnomah Athletic Club last week. As a founding member, we’re proud to support this important initiative—and especially proud to celebrate our CHRO, Juan Gallegos, as one of this year’s honorees. Say Hey! welcomes professionals of color who are new to Oregon, and it was particularly meaningful to see Juan recognized after making the move from Texas last year. It was also energizing to see so many members of our Business Resource Groups in attendance. Evenings like this reflect the strength of community, connection, and belonging as people build their lives and careers here. Thank you to Partners in Diversity for creating space to uplift new voices and strengthen our region....Show more
